ABSTRACT: Kirjoittaja lähtee siitä, että kansainvälisen oikeuden tutkijat
ovat kuluvan vuosisadan aikana joutuneet ottamaan kantaa moniin oikeudellisiin
ongelmiin, joiden olemassaoloa ei aikaisemmin edes voitu kuvitellakaan.Yhtenä
esimerkkinä voisi mainita avaruusongelmat.Kansainvälisen oikeuden kannalta
merkittävistä ulkoavaruuden rauhanomaisen käytön turvaamiseen voidaan
erityisesti mainita v. 1966 YK:n yleiskokouksen toimesta laadittu
ulkoavaruuden rauhanomaista käyttöä ja tutkimista sääntelevä sopimus, jossa
todetaan kaikilla valtioilla olevan oikeus avaruuden tutkimukseen ja
hyväksikäyttämiseen.Artikkelissa selostetaan tämän sopimuksen lisäksi myös
oikeutta mannermaajalustaan, jota koskeva monenkeskinen valtiosopimus
hyväksyttiin Genevessä v. 1960. The author states that during this century
scholars of international law have had to deal with a lot of legal problems
which before were not even imaginable. One of these is the problem concerning
space.An important convention of the peaceful use of outer space is the 1966
UN Convention on Peaceful Use of Outer Space where it is stated that all
nations have the right to space research and exploitation.The article also
discusses the right to the continental shelf.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this book is to reflect the current state of
discussions about problems relating to space law within the United
Nations.Primarily it deals with items such as: 1) remote sensing of the Earth
from outer space 2) the use of nuclear power sources in outer space 3) the
definition / delimination of outer space and other space activities and the
character and utlization of the geostationary orbit. 4) the prevention of arms
race in outer space These are all agenda items of the UN Committee on the
Peaceful Uses of Outer Space.

ABSTRACT: This is an international survey of the legal aspects of the air
space in peace-time civilian aviation, with special reference to Finnish
law.Main headings of the survey are reviews of the concept and essence of air
law in civilian aviation, and the status of this branch of law in the general
legal organization; state territorial sovereignty with special reference to
the air space; the development of public air law; the legal basis of civil
aviation; the concept of aircraft (civil and state) and aviation rights; the
special features of air regulations, and the right to use the air space,
regarded as a concept of public air law.
